actually, not that much tbh, since they ordered 70k rifles. Just around 3000 rounds per rifle, and it will get consumed in 2-3 years at most in training itself.

oh lol.... Its 300 rounds per rifle, not 3000. Thats barely one full combat load .

It should include turbofan engine or propeller engine option. IMHO propellers are best for carrying cargos under 30 tons while turbofans are best for carrying cargo over 35 tons. I do not know which engine type will perform better in the Himalayas where this plane would be most used. It does need short takeoff and landing on rough airstrips capability and I think propeller engines can deal with debris and rough conditions better than turbofan engines.

It's is oxygen manufacturing plant sir , it makes oxygen from sunlight , water and a chemical called as chlorophyll .
Very ingenious or jadeed technology we see in action here , we have indeed come a long way .

Don't props have higher difficulty in thinner air during liftoff?

God knows which aircrafts will IAF choose, IMO it should be between C-130J or A-400M. Chances of C-390 are slim.

A-400M are too expensive to operate. C-130J is better and we already have the infrastructure for it.

I guess IAF is thinking of retiring the An-32 fleet with a mix of C-295s and this new MTA in the near future. We are having close to 105 An-32 and previously we planned on having ~45 MTA so the rest of numbers will be filled by C-295.

Though, I want C-390 to be selected as the MTA but yeah lets see what happens.

We are already making c295 so a400 has better chance.
Whichever plane IAF chooses hope they do it quickly or the russian/Ukrainian planes will become another flying coffin

Isn't a turbine a big thing it's a critical part of the centrifuge no ?

Soon you can hear an Indian fanboy twitter post "RFI issued by IAF for UCAVs under buy or make in India for 2047 induction" Turkey already started ground trials of Hurjet with GE404 ...No one knows where is IJT Sitara after spin trials?

Only A400M & c2 meets 30t cargo requirements- both c130 & c390 can carry 20t cargo max.

 

[johnj]

A-400M are too expensive to operate. C-130J is better and we already have the infrastructure for it.

Both are expensive and how many tonne of cargo can carry c130j ?
